Hei Brien Thanks a lot for your message. The white 6X6 belongs to a friend of ours, that joined us for a few days on our Iceland adventure. See: Sponsor (Supporter) Feature – Dreki Adventures It's a Toyota Hilux 6X6 Arctic Trucks 44 - AT44) , and is the original first 6x6 of this kind...

Just returned from 6 weeks Arctic Trucks Expedition around Iceland - www.ice2017.no We took just one HiLift Jack with us, to share between vehicles. Also, took only one spare wheel, that fit all vehicles. This not only cut down weight and volume used, but also reduced our fuel consumption...

What we have done on both our ICE2015 and ICE2017 Arctic Trucks Iceland Expeditions, is publish a blog article at the close of each day, adding text, locations, photos and videos. Then when we ended our epic 6 weeks journey, the whole data set and story was completed. This is hard work and time...

One way to gain a quick, tasty, and fulfilling meal, is to use Drytech / REAL Turmat packs. We used them extensively during our ICE2017 Arctic Trucks Iceland Expedition this summer. Read More: Sponsor Feature – Drytech / REAL Turmat They only require hot water, a quick stir, a few minutes wait...

Here is one from Iceland... Into the Glacier offer various tours to one of Iceland‘s most significant new attraction, the man–made ice cave into Langjökull (Long Glacier). Below, you see me admiring the Monster Truck, that drives you up the glacier, to the Ice Cave entrance. Inside the...

I agree..........Kids !!! No aliens required. Give them half an hour of boredom, and my 2 kids will start to do something like this - especially when they were younger....

Really interesting thread. Certainly didn't expect to see such excellent quality photos of early overlanders. Surprised at the vintage of roof top tents !!! Thanks for sharing.

Here is one from Iceland during our recent ICE2017 Arctic Trucks Expedition. The Mountain is called Strútur (close to Húsafell). It's just another mountain in Iceland - nothing special. The road is essentially only for maintenance access to the radio / telephone relay station at its summit...

Once I got the travel bug, my long-term personal goal was to visit as many countries, as my age. I am now 55 years, but sadly I have only managed 38 countries to date: · Scandinavia: Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Faroe Islands, Iceland · Europe: England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland (Eire)...

Unfortunately, we all have favourites and "baggage" that tends to sway our decisions. Best advice is to check the quality first (if at all possible) before purchasing anything these days. And don't become too "Brand Loyal" as brand quality changes over time. Take a few minutes to check for any...

I tend to bring 3 pairs of shoes / boots, which collectively cover most seasonal variations and need requirements (all seasons can happen within the same day in Norway (and Iceland)). The "general" shoe I use most of the time, is the Scarpa "Nepal" Comfort Fit. It's light, very comfortable...

I think early wildlife documentaries on British TV, during late 1960's and throughout 1970's (as I grew up), first inspired me to go out and see the world. (e.g. David Attenborough, etc.) Scouting helped to build and develop outdoor skills. Later in the 1980's, I was lucky enough to be chosen...

Here one for you from Iceland (www.ice2017.no) 4X4 only !!!

Just a couple of Campsites used during our 6 weeks Arctic Trucks expedition around Iceland (www.ice2017.n0) Hope you like them :)

Will do.......... It's probably a 1-2 year project, depending on how fast I can raise the seed capital to buy the vehicle. Lots of interesting fixes and upgrades in mind. Should be fun.....

Hei Joey Thanks for helping with your reply :) I have just sent him a full reply, explaining options and costs. Iceland is a great place to visit, but very expensive.... Cheers Neil :)

Thanks a lot Joey. It's ambitious, but we need something to keep us going, so I hope I can find ways to make this work. Just need a lot of generous folks to donate a little, and it should all start to come together. The hardest part is the start, raising the seed money, to buy the project...

Hei Yes, we shipped them from Norway to Iceland on the Smyril Line Ferry, which operates from Faroe Islands, to Denmark and Iceland. Had to take a separate ferry from Norway to Denmark to catch this... It's a 2 day trip each way (Denmark-Faroes-Iceland), but it's nice to go with your own...

Hei After just completing my latest (second) Arctic Trucks Expedition to Iceland, I have reached the point where I wish to move on, and work on my next "build project". Looking to buy a Toyota Land Cruiser V8, only few years old, low km, good condition, and work on it to make an AT44 (Arctic...
